EXPIRED – FREE ice cream with Ben & Jerry’s ‘Free Cone Day’

We’ve got a big scoop for you. Here at MSE Towers, we’re counting down to one of the most important days of the year. No, it’s not the start of the new season of Game of Cones – it’s ‘Free Cone Day’ at Ben & Jerry’s.

What is Free Cone Day?

Once a year, Ben & Jerry’s gives out free ice cream cones at selected stores across the UK. So this year, on Tuesday 14 April, you can get TOTALLY FREE Ben & Jerry’s ice cream if you visit a participating store between 12-8pm. This is the 37th annual Free Cone Day, so it’s become something of a tradition for die-hard ice cream fans.

How do you get free ice cream?

To get your free cone, first go online to find your nearest participating store – you’ll need to enter your postcode and tick the ‘Participate Free Cone Day’ box. Some concession stands in cinemas are participating, so if you don’t think there’s a Ben & Jerry’s store near you, it’s still worth checking if your local Odeon or Vue cinema is offering free cones.

Once you’ve found a participating store, all you need to do is turn up between 12pm and 8pm and ask for your free cone. It’s one scoop per cone (norm £2.95), and you can choose any flavour. It’s likely there’ll be long queues so either get there early, or be prepared to wait a while for your freebie.

Ben & Jerry’s says there’s no limit to the number of free cones you can get, but you will have to join the queue again if you’re after a second one. Please eat responsibly.

How this site works

We think it's important you understand the strengths and limitations of the site. We're a journalistic website and aim to provide the best MoneySaving guides, tips, tools and techniques, but can't guarantee to be perfect, so do note you use the information at your own risk and we can't accept liability if things go wrong.

This info does not constitute financial advice, always do your own research on top to ensure it's right for your specific circumstances and remember we focus on rates not service.

We don't as a general policy investigate the solvency of companies mentioned (how likely they are to go bust), but there is a risk any company can struggle and it's rarely made public until it's too late (see the Section 75 guide for protection tips).

Do note, while we always aim to give you accurate product info at the point of publication, unfortunately price and terms of products and deals can always be changed by the provider afterwards, so double check first.

We often link to other websites, but we can't be responsible for their content.

Always remember anyone can post on the MSE forums, so it can be very different from our opinion.

MoneySavingExpert.com is part of the MoneySupermarket Group, but is entirely editorially independent. Its stance of putting consumers first is protected and enshrined in the legally-binding MSE Editorial Code.
